03:49-3:57 Titles and Credits
03:58-04:35 VISUALIZATION Spread of Low-Level Ozone Courtesy of NCAR
This atmospheric chemistry model helps scientists track the global spread of low-level ozone (green) and nitrogen oxides (blue).
04:36-05:30 Animation -- The Greenhouse Effect. Earth's atmosphere acts like a greenhouse, letting in the sun's energy but trapping heat radiated by the Earth.
04:46 Top of Earth close up
04:50 Arrows from atmosphere hitting Earth and then bouncing off
04:57 Top of Earth close up
05:02 Earth rotation with black space as background
05:05 The Greenhouse Effect
05:06 Greenhouse Gases/Surface Temperature
05:08 Incoming solar radiation
05:10 Reemitted radiation
05:12 Radiation emitted into space-absorbed radiation
05:18 Arrows
05:30-6:30 VISUALIZATIONPRECIPITABLE WATER VAPOR
Courtesy of NCAR
Water vapor in the atmosphere is predicted to increase as the climate warms. Scientists are studying changes in water vapor using visualizations like this one from the NCAR Climate System Model.
CCM3/T170 NCAR/CRIEPI July 5-31
06:31 VISUALIZATIONAir Flow through Hurricanes courtesy of COMET
This graphic depicts the typical circulation of a mature hurricane. Air enters at low levels rises through the eye, and emerges from the top of the storm as outflow.
06:35 Animation - inflow
06:41 Outflow
06:46 Eye/eyewall
06:58 Inflow
07:07 Outflow
07:16 Eye/eyewall
07:28 ANIMATIONEl Nino & La Nina Evolution (top view) changes in ocean and air circulation across the tropical Pacific help create both El Nino and La Nina
07:30 Normal ocean circulation showing equator
07:31 Trade Winds
07:50 El Nino trade winds
08:00 El Nino - weakening trade winds
08:03 Trade winds
08:08 Normal w/Equator
08:09 Trade winds
08:15 La Nina strengthening Trade winds showing equator
08:22 La Nina trade winds showing equator
08:26 ANIMATIONEl Nino and La Nina Evolution Cross-Section
In El Nino, warm waters spread eastward across the tropical Pacific. In La Nina, the warm waters retreated westward and cold upwelling increases to the east.
